Why is the drain not in the middle? Is there any problem with water draining out completely?

The reason drain is on one side is that you can wash on that side and you can put a rack on the other side and put the washed dishes to dry.

The drain in the corner is a matter of preference. It drains real well in thr corner and is not in the way. I believe blanco also makes a sink with a center drain,

This particular sink has the off set drain. There's not any problems with drainage that I can see. Works just like a normal center drain.

Offset drains are better for undersink storage. There is no problem with drainage. Do not leave cast iron lids in sink for extended periods of time. May stain sink

No there is no problem with water draining out completely. This is a large one bowl design that replaces many two small bowl designs, so the existing piping more than likely will be on one side.

I believe the drain is offset so the slope of the sink will assure there is no standing water. I am totally pleased with my sink.

No, its the only single sink I was able to find with the drain on the side. It allows me to use the garbage disposal or use the drain and still have things in the sink. I love it.

I had one of these installed last fall and it works beautifully. Not sure why the drain is where it is but there is no problem with water draining properly. I had my faucet installed on the right side of the sink so this configuration works well for me.

It is normal for the drain. It will be nice to find a way to recycle the drained water for the garden!

It's on the back along the right edge (if you're looking at the unit from the back) about midway up. It is recessed and the flexible drain tube could probably be curved to facilitate running the drain tube down the back or the side. I use the reservoir instead of the drainage tube since it's front loaded and easy to access. I've been very happy with these units.

Hmmm - never had that problem, although my drain tube is a little lower...about 2ft 9inch.

Good question. I installed four of these faucets and they all run down the middle as they should.......

I have never had this problem with this Drain. I would suggest making sure it is tightened down enough so that it is flush with the bottom of the bowl

I have found no leaks, backing up, or drain problems with my unit that would cause damage. I don't see any problem with what you are wanting to do, but I would err on the safe side and assume that the possibility for leak and overflow could happen in your design.

It actually has a center section that is slightly raised creating a tiny slope around the sides of the raised area. The entire bottom is perforated. I've had no problems with it draining.

No drain problem at all! We own two of them! One for each of my boy's rooms and because of the dual air flow there is no need for the drain! (We use it exclusively for an air conditioner only, but it has other features)

never had a problem with mine but when i'm done i drain all the water and I keep the hose in a bucket thats covered. Its a small pain but i really like the hose.

I don't use the hose drain feature, but ti is pretty obvious that there is a blockage... probably just general household dust debris blocking either the drian hole or the hose.

Honestly, the sink is at our weekend home and I can't go look at it but I THINK the drain is in the exact middle - so I can't imagine what problem it would create to flip it around. Maybe ask Elkay for sure? We love it.

I don't recall. We anticipated a issue since we changed increased the sink depth which changes where the drain goes. It is a excellent piece.

I haven't had any problems with drainage. I just installed and tilted it slightly for drainage

Hi, we haven't had any problems with draining or standing water in this sink at all.

What does this mean. The drain has to be at least 12" from the back wall? If so is this from the center of the pipe? Thanks

Yes it is. . . But I closed down the valve on the water line a bit -- to reduce the amount of hot water coming in -- so less was going down the drain. But it still does. Again this is normal.
